Hello Katherine and others who want to help by filling out the survey,

 

First, thank you for caring enough to make the effort to complete the
survey!  

 

I think the problem may be that you have clicked on the link on the
first page of the survey that says "click here" rather than the red
rectangular button that says "Begin."

 

Please try this from your computer:

 

Go to the beginning survey page at
http://mercury.educ.kent.edu/lincs/lincs.cfm.  Click the red rectangular
button that says "Begin" located toward the bottom of that page. If
clicking the "Begin" button doesn't take you to the page of the actual
survey where you start filling in information, please reply to me and
tell me what browser you are using.  We tested the "Begin" button link
with several different browsers trying to recreate your difficulty, but
they all sent the user to the right place.  We really want to be sure
you get a chance to fill in the survey and we need to solve this
problem.  It will help us a lot if you can bear with us and provide us
with any other clues you have.  Thank you for letting us know that there
is a problem!

 

Don't think you are the only person who has had this trouble!  I wish we
had initially positioned the buttons in a way to keep from confusing
those who are trying to take the survey. Hindsight is better than
foresight!

 

Thank you for your interest and perseverance!  Please feel free to
contact me again if you still have difficulty.

Hello--

 

When you go to the survey site, they ask for a pin or id number.  Where
do we get that?

NeedsAssessment

	Hi,

	 

	Adult education teachers and administrators:  Have you taken the
time to complete the National Institute for Literacy's online
professional development survey?  If not, there is still time to express
your opinion and share your thoughts to help influence decisions that
are being made nationally on professional development.  
	
	The National Institute for Literacy is conducting a survey on
the professional development needs of adult education practitioners
across the country.  We need your help to gather information that
reflects your own needs in the area of professional development as well
as how you think professional development should be offered.  We are
asking for only 10-15 minutes of your time.  Follow this link to take
the survey at http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/needssurvey/.   The deadline for
the online survey is November 9, 2007.  Based on the results of the
survey, the Regional Resource Centers and the Institute will review them
and make informed decisions on what additional materials and trainings
best fall inline with Institute's mandates and priorities, the
requirements of the LINCS Regional Resources Centers and practitioner
needs.  

	
	Information collected from the professional development needs
survey will be used by the Institute and the LINCS Regional Resource
Centers to 1) give us insights on how Institute-produced materials and
training can be disseminated and 2) identify areas where the Institute
might want to develop additional materials and trainings. The Regional
Resource Centers will use the data to develop a regional dissemination
plan that will include how to best disseminate and present
Institute-sponsored resources and training in partnership with the state
organizations.
	
	The National Institute for Literacy, a federal agency, provides
leadership on literacy issues, including the improvement of reading
instruction for children, youth, and adults. In consultation with the
U.S. Departments of Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services, the
Institute serves as a national resource on current, comprehensive
literacy research, practice, and policy. 
	
	The National Institute for Literacy is committed to the
dissemination of high-quality resources to help practitioners use
evidence-based instructional practices that improve outcomes in adult
learners' literacy skills. LINCS is the backbone of the Institute's
dissemination system, providing information on a wide variety of
literacy relevant topics, issues, and resources through regional
resource centers, collections of resources,
	and discussion lists.  For more information about the National
Institute for Literacy and LINCS visit http://www.nifl.gov
<http://www.nifl.gov/> .  

	 

	Thank you for participating in the above needs assessment.  The
topic of Learning Disabilities is a critically important one for
professional development, so hearing from subscribers on this national
Discussion List will be very helpful in this effort.
